## Abstract

A method and a mobile device to display a specific image at the highest layer of a screen are provided. The mobile device displays moving images at a first region of a screen and, if an event to perform a function in a second region of the screen is received, determines a second region for displaying a specific image associated with the event. The mobile device determines whether the second region is overlapped with the first region. If the second region is overlapped with the first region, the mobile device determines a third region not overlapped with the second region. Thereafter, the mobile device displays the specific image at the second region and displays the moving images at the third region.

wherein, when a call connection request message is received for initiating a call while the moving image is displayed, the at least one processor is further configured to pause a playback of the moving image, and
wherein, when the call is disconnected, the at least one processor is further configured to release the pausing of the playback of the moving image.

### Claim 10 (depends on 2)

The mobile device of claim 2, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
reduce the second window that displays the moving image, and
provide the reduced second window at a third part of the touch screen.

### Claim 11 (depends on 2)

The mobile device of claim 2, further comprising:
a memory configured to store location change information that defines mapping relations between the first part of the touch screen and the second part of the touch screen.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the location change information is configured to be set by a user.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)
